wow, Im back...

And what a week (well two weeks) it has been, Hot, Hot, Hot and sticky!!! and my interweb service has been down for a few days (maybe it was the heat??) I have been trying to work on the project I have to do for a client, but with the weather being so hot, I have had to put it of a few days (a whole week) as I have to work on it in the garage due to its size.
Thought I would get a break today, but its already +34.5c and its only 09:30 in the morning.

I did get a few small paintings and sketches done, this one from my laundry day (it was two other water colour paintings before, but I hated them, painted over and this is the end result), and I really like it.

This is a small sketch and water colour illustration, its from a 1950's book I found and it has neat B/W pictures in it. Love the shoes.

I tried to paint some flowers that we have in our garden, but the heat got to me in the end and I just didn't have the energy to finish it. And the one below here, is a sketch I did while waiting for my appt at my Dr's office. Finally got my results back from my tests and good news is that its not Rheumatoid Arthritis (I was so worried about that, I need my hands to work), but its still Arthritis, so I have to get some more tests done. I hate joint pains... But any hoo, here is the sketch I did while waiting, its of an article I read about an female neanderthal. And in the article they wrote about the weather and temperature they had during the time she lived, and they said that she and her mates would shed their clothing (furs) when it was hot, so they could cool of and they most likely even hunted naked... Hmmm, maybe that's a trend we all should look in too (not the hunting part).
